Refrigerated compressed air dryer
A refrigerated air drier operates by cooling the air, as the name suggests (like a refrigerator). One of the most widely utilized types of air dryers is the chilled compressed air dryer. They are simple in design, need minimal care, and are quite cheap.
Install a Refrigerated compressed air drier to get rid of water from compressed air at a reasonable cost and steer clear of condensate issues.
HOW DOES IT WORKS
A refrigerated air drier operates by cooling the air, as the name suggests (like a refrigerator). The dryer receives the warm, humid air, and cools it down to roughly 3 degrees Celsius. The air’s remaining water vapour turns into liquid water. similar to how your window feels on a chilly day.
A water-trap is then used to extract the liquid water from the compressed air. The frigid air is then heated again until it reaches room temperature. The air is now significantly dryer because a lot of water has turned into water.
The cooling is carried out similarly to how your refrigerator and freezer are cooled. To chill the warm compressed air, liquid refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator in a separate circuit. The refrigerant warms up while the air is being cooled.
A small compressor compresses the refrigerant, which is then cooled down once again in the condenser. The many components of the refrigerant circuit are visible (with refrigerant compressor and condenser). The condensate trap with discharge lines is also visible.
At the top of the dryer is the evaporator, which is where the refrigerant cools the compressed air (the whole area at the top is the insulated evaporator).
